This query is : Resolved
Hi,
Can you please let me know whether a divorced wife who is working with government organisation and earning a good salary is eligible for claiming maintenance from her ex-husband for herself and for her daughter?
Will there be any right of her daughter on the property which is in the name of her ex-husband's current wife, who is also working?
With best regards

If you are earning more than your wife and your wife can not complete all her needs from her salary, she can claim maintenance from you for herself.
You are liable to pay maintenance to your daughter its your legal obligation you can not escape from this.
The daughter can not claim any right in the property of your current wife.

Well. It depends on whether the income derived by the ex wife is enough for their maintenance.

If there is consent of wife at the time of divorce that she will not claim future maintenance by her ex-husband then she is not entitled to get any maintenance for her. Till the age of completion of 18 yrs. daughter can get maintenance.

Thanks to all of you for your advise.
There is one more question arises, in case if the divorced wife leaves her current job due to any reason, can she then claim maintenace.
Can she file or apeal now with a request to reopen the case which got decided in 1996. or can she challenge the decree of divorce now.
